Nine Inch Nails’ Not the Actual Events EP was released late last year with little advance notice. Fans were able to order digital copies of the EP alongside a mysterious accompanying “physical component.” Fans are finally receiving the physical package in the mail, and apparently, it’s a messy ordeal. A black sleeve comes with a detailed disclaimer label that offers cryptic warnings like “actions have consequences” and “this will make a mess.” Several tweets have surfaced showing fans’ fingers covered in a smudgy black powder as they unearthed a series of enigmatic photos and texts. Find some photos of the package below.
